Lightly fragrant, hint of black pepper, smoke with some tight non-open red fruit. Palate is more delicious, nearly zero tannin, but good lively acidity, fresh red fruit, sour cherry, plum. Good, light spice, very drinkable.

Visually has light color as Pinot noir does. Exuberant flavor and aroma of red fruits. Affordable and drinkable. Lighter body makes it possibly a good summer wine

Bright, approachable Rhone. Not heavy; sweet cherry and pot pourri (sp?) on nose, smooth and medium weight on palate. $16.

Medium body, nicely balanced, hints of smoky blackberry and peppercorns. Nice dry finish. Very repeatable. Perfect with salmon and a cream sauce.

Solid, good pepper and smoke with lively fruit upfront.

Deep ruby color, juicy blackberry and raspberry favors, firm yet gentle tannin, smooth, sour cherry on the finish
